Prozzo threw for 216 yards and two TDs while Mierzejewski picked up 84 receiving yards and a pair of scores. Those 84 receiving yards gave Mierzejewski a new career-high. Another big playmaker for Southington was Rosco Cook, who returned a punt for a touchdown.
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Southington, racking up 11 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Cook, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Southington's defense and their five sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as five different players picked up one apiece. Another thorn in McMahon's side was Dan Corrado, who picked up a sack and made 12 total tackles (1.5 for loss).
